Re Broken Steering Arm.

With reference to my wire re the above, I did not necessarily mean an increase on what has already been done, but an increase of 30% in depth on the broken one. This should double its resistance to fracture, which is about the required amount.

Will you please send me a lever of the broken design, and also one of the most up to date.

F.H.R.
